While glial cells lack many of the distinctive features of "thinking" nerve cells, it is nevertheless instructive when considering these gluelike cells to consider the anatomy of the functional neurons they sup
underGross Anatomyof the Human Brain). The ependymal cells also give rise to the epithelium of thechoroid plexus, a highly vascularized, villous collection of cells that produce theCSFthat occupies the ventricular system (Del Bigio, 2010). Tumors of ependymal cells are termedependymomasand represe...
Neuron-supporting glial cells display a considerable variability in phenotype and function. The first part of the chapter describes general principles of glial cell phenotype and distribution including evolution of glia-mediated neuronal support, glial morphology according to the types of cell processes, ...

The translocator protein acts as a marker for the activity of glial cells. Images combining PET and MRI scans showed that healthy people had less translocator protein in their brains than did people with chronic back pain (SN Online: 1/13/lS). Imaging pain's molecular anatomy: brain scans ...
and glial cell complexity seems to support the idea that the earliest neurons did not need glial cells [6]. This led to a general definition of glia cells as “homeostatic cells of the nervous system” [6]. According to this definition, glial cells exist as housekeeping cells, whereas neuro...
processes continues to be scarce. Here, we review foundational and current evidence on timing precision and cooperative neuronal electrical activity driving STDP and brain rhythms, their interactions, and the emerging role of glial cells in such processes. We also provide an overview of their ...
The glial cell organization contributes to the definition of the ENS as a ‘CNS-like’ compartment of the PNS (Gabella, 1971; Gershon and Rothman, 1991). As demonstrated with quail/chick embryonic chimeras all peripheral glial cells derive from the neural crest. Moreover neurons of peripheral ...
Glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) is the hallmarkintermediate filament(IF; also known as nanofilament) protein in astrocytes, a main type ofglial cellsin the centralnervous system(CNS). The study reported thatGFAPreleased from astroglial tumors, especially malignantgliomas, could be used as a ...
